In 1957 -- near the start of the Space Race -- Louisville leaders decided to honor Rabbi Joseph Rauch by building The Rauch Memorial Planetarium at the University of Louisville.
Almost 60 years and now two locations later, the planetarium -- with its 55-foot diameter hemispherical dome -- still hosts students, residents and other community groups with laser light shows and other educational programming.
And Yelpers are invited to come out for a free, out-of-this-world, one-of-a-kind event at the planetarium.
Guests are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite alien or astronaut -- and get creative with it! Think Apollo 13, Star Trek or even Ziggy Stardust. And on the extraterrestrial side of the equation, you could go E.T. (obviously) or even Yoda or Superman.
Food and drinks from local restaurants will be provided as well activities and free shows in the planetarium theater.
More info on the participating sponsors to come soon!
